- At the time of his statements before
the United States Congress, television news reporters and cameras, and Vietnamese Communist Negotiators in Paris, France,
John Kerry was still in the United States Navy.

At the recent football game between the Army and the
Air Force, a big sign emerged, and it was shown first to the Corps of Cadets, who cheered wildly, and then shown to the Air
Force cadets, who also cheered just as wild. Hhhhmmmmmm... college students... enlisted in the armed forces... aren't they risking being sent to Iraq!?!?!?

When John Kerry slandered an entire generation of men who fought in Vietnam he branded them as "war criminals."
Today, much of the same thing is being said about our young men and women in Iraq.

Now, a lawsuit filed in Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas will test the very foundation of Kerry’s
anti-war persona for the first time. It isn’t dubious medals or Kerry’s disputed service record in Vietnam
that is being called into question. This time Kerry may finally be forced to answer for the events that launched his public
career, one that made him an anti-war hero for many American liberals and a turncoat for millions of Vietnam veterans.

The lawsuit (Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation, et al. v. Kenneth Campbell, et al.) challenges the basis,
the factual accuracy of then Lt. (j.g.) Kerry’s acrimonious testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee
in 1971. It was there Kerry’s public career was catapulted with his now ubiquitous portrayal of American soldiers
as murderers, rapists and torturers "who ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam . . . [and] razed villages in a fashion
reminiscent of Genghis Khan."

For the anti-war, anti-American protesters, the American soldiers are the "terrorists," and the enemies are
the victims of a barbaric U.S. military which tortures and murders defenseless civilians.

That false premise, one of the most vicious and enduring smears spawned by Kerry 35 years ago, will also be
put to the test once Kerry’s true "Band of Brothers" are put under oath in a Philadelphia courtroom.

The background to this lawsuit is long and complex, but even a condensed version is rich in irony and poetic
justice.

It had it roots in 2004 with the documentary Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal. Many may recall
the film, although it is probably best known for not being seen, suppressed after Sinclair Broadcasting Company courageously
announced it was going to air the documentary in its entirety. Thanks to Kerry and his liberal colleagues in the Senate
and their enablers in the mainstream media, Sinclair was browbeaten into withdrawing the film, its broadcast license threatened
by a Kerry campaign manager in 2004. The film’s producer, Carlton Sherwood, a Pulitzer Prize and Peabody Award-winning
investigative reporter, interviewed former POWs for the documentary.

I was among those whom Sherwood, a decorated Marine combat veteran himself, asked to participate in Stolen
Honor. I was a POW for nearly six years, held in North Vietnam prison camps, including the notorious Hanoi Hilton,
a place of unimaginable horrors — torture, beatings, starvation and mind-numbing isolation. When Kerry branded
us "war criminals," he handed our captors all the justification they needed to carry out their threats to execute us.
Thanks to Kerry, Jane Fonda and their comrades in the anti-war movement, our captivity was prolonged by years. The communists
in Hanoi and Moscow couldn’t have had a better press agent to spread their anti-American propaganda.

To guarantee Stolen Honor would never be seen by anyone — not even theatre-goers — the
producer was slapped with a libel and defamation lawsuit.

That lawsuit was filed by a long-time anti-war disciple
of the Massachusetts Senator. He was one of Kerry's key war crimes "witnesses," one of several on whom Kerry claims
he based his Senate testimony.

The lawsuit put a unique spin on the definition of defamation, claiming that Stolen Honor had damaged
the public reputations of himself, Kerry and others by simply quoting their own words and criticisms of America during the
Vietnam war!

The POWs and the wives of POWs who participated in Stolen Honor refused to abandon the facts conveyed
in the film. For some of us, it was the first time since our release by the Communists in 1973 that we were able to have our
voices publicly heard, to tell our stories about the consequences of Kerry’s treachery. In 2005, we formed a nonprofit
organization, the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation (VVLF), to gather records, documents and other materials to form a fact-based,
educational repository for students and scholars of Vietnam history and to tell the true story of the American soldiers in
Vietnam. The VVLF’s mission is "to set the record straight, factually, about Vietnam and those who fought there."

For our efforts, we were promptly sued by two long-time anti-war Kerry followers and VVAW members. It was
clear that Kerry not only wanted to punish us for Stolen Honor; he intended to use surrogates to sue us into permanent
silence and financial ruin.

At stake is ultimately nothing less than the integrity of the American military in Vietnam, the honor of the
men who served their country, the nobility of those who gave their lives, and the truth of America’s history in Vietnam.
Until or unless we do correct the existing record, the American military may never be free of the myths and smears of Vietnam,
its honor and integrity cleansed as it fights to defend freedom at home and around the world.

Col. George E. "Bud" Day, USAF (Ret.,) was a POW in North Vietnam for five years, seven months and 13 days.
He served in three wars (WWII, Korea, and Vietnam) and earned the Medal of Honor. He is the Air Force’s
most decorated living veteran. He is the Director and President of the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation, Inc., an
organization created to better educate and inform the public about the Vietnam War, its events, its history, and the men and
women who sacrificed to serve their country. Please go here to read Col. Day’s statement in its entirety.

Absolutely True Story About Senator
John Kerry

Words of Captain Donald L.
Nelson, JAG corps USN ret: I was on active duty as a U.S. Navy JAG, when all of this was going on 25 to
30 years ago, and so was Mark F. Sullivan, who at all relevant times was the personal JAG to J. William Middendorf, then the
Secretary of the Navy.

We are trying to
break this absolutely true story nationwide, i.e., Fox News, C-Span, and hopefully the major networks. We are
positive that John Kerry was one of those dishonorably dismissed from the Navy for collaborating with the Viet Cong after
he was released from active duty, but still in the Navy and for a totally unauthorized trip to Paris. John Kerry later
got an "honorable" separation in 1978, some 12 years after joining the Navy, under President Carter's "Amnesty Program" for
draft dodgers, and other malcontents, who fled to Canada and Holland, among other places, to avoid military service
to our country.

This
is why John Kerry has refused, and continues to refuse, to release all of his Navy records: they reflect that he was Dishonorably
Dismissed from the United States Naval Service. If they do not (which they do) he would have released them to the public.
Again, he has not done so, because he well knows that the truth would kill his challenge to President Bush. If
you would like to talk with me, I may be reached at telephone number (925) 964-0943 in Danville, California, or at DLNelsonSF@msn.com. Contact information for CAPT Sullivan
is below.

- At the time of his statements
before the United States Congress, television news reporters and cameras, and Vietnamese Communist Negotiators in Paris,
France, John Kerry was still in the United States Navy.

Please Pass The Word
About Our Petition. John Kerry is not going away on his own. He'll be in Congress condemning and belittling
our troops for years to come. Unless we do something about it...

WE ARE
IN THIS TOGETHER.

WHY DO
THESE TWO YOUNG MARINES LOOK DRUNK?

Jack, 19 George, 18

Webmaster Jack Cunningham
(Sussex, NJ) and George Dros (Cooperstown, NY) are sitting at a table in a Duc Duc Refugee Village peasant hut, near the village's
market place. The two, young United States Marines are members of CAP Team 2-9-2. (CAP Teams were composed
of about 8 to 13 Americans, who lived and served 24/7 in Vietnamese peasant-farming villages. The Duc Duc
Refugee Village was composed of about 2,000 homes.)

In the above picture, Jack's and George's eyes were
shut, because of complete exhaustion. It was July 1970. At the time this picture was taken, the Americans in Duc
Duc were not sure whether the CAP Unit would be pulled out of the village or whether it would be wiped out. We were
experiencing heavy combat. Intelligence reports were coming in daily that the Communists wanted to punish the village
while the Americans were still there.

By wiping out
CAP 2-9-2, the terrorists hoped to leave an example to other CAP Villages. With alerts at the highest level, night ambush
responsibilities were 100% watch throughout the night. With two long patrols a day going outside the village, it didn't
leave much time for the eight or so Americans to sleep.

Around the day this
picture was taken, an intelligence report came in from the 1st Marine Division Headquarters in Da Nang that the high Communist
Command wanted to speed up President Nixon's troop pullout from Vietnam. They wanted to embarrass the Americans on a
wide-scale and influence the American People into pressuring a faster troop pullout. Their plan called for wiping out
the Fifth Marines at An Hoa. It was going to involve thousands of Communist Forces. The Village of Duc Duc was
on the large Marine Base's perimeter and was said to be the main route for the Communist attack. Our orders that night
in July 1970 was to set up in the most well protected position. Our Cap Unit was expected to try and hold off the Communist
drive off as long as possible. We were expected to serve as a warning or trip wire (Queens Gambit) for the Fifth Marines.

Months after Jack and George pulled out of the
village of Duc Duc, the Vietnamese communists punished the peasant village by burning it to the ground. Hundreds of
civilian men, women and children were killed, wounded and reported missing. Two thousands homes were reduced to ashes.
The blaze could be seen from twenty-five (25) miles away in Da Nang. It was the light of the blaze that guided United
States Marines helicopters to the scene.

PICTURE FOR LARGER COPY

The boy with Jack is the Marine's village boy. These village boys would run errands, cook C-Rations,
clean up-after, massage tense muscles and serve as interpreters for the Marines. Usually, each Marine had their own
boy to help him around the village.

Many times, adult peasants of Duc Duc would supply these boys with intelligence information of planned
terrorist attacks on the village. Supplying these intelligence reports on terrorist movements and plans may have
been the reason why the Duc Duc Refugee Village was later burned to ashes.

A month after the above picture was taken, the boy lost both of his parents in a terrorist rocket attack
on their area of the Duc Duc Refugee Village. After his parents were killed, the boy moved to a relative's
home closer to the City of Da Nang; which in the long run saved his life the night of the Duc Duc Massacre.
